First Campout 2007 - Jaffray, BC

Kikomun Creek Provincial Pk

Site #2 - n/s no chg (x2)

Temp 14C

Ron is doing a crossword puzzle and I thought I would send an email while I still can. We have cell service here.

We are at Kikomun Prov. Pk. It was so beautiful when we arrived yesterday. 14C, not a breathe of wind, not a soul around... Just the birds singing. Had our customary beer after 'setup'. Took our customary first time out photo and enjoyed the scenery. Unfortunately it didn't last!! Breeze came up and it started to rain.

We were awoken in the night with our warning alarm squealing. This indicates either propane leak or low battery. In this case, low battery. Couldn't shut it off, so Ron cut the wire and back to bed! Not much could be done about the battery at that time.

Woke up this a.m. to 6C and more rain. Chilly !!! Ron hooked the truck battery to the 5th wheel and charged up. However, it doesn't seem to be holding. We have 2 batteries in the 5th wheel and they weren't hooked up properly to start with, so may have ruined them :-(

so... after lunch we will make a run to Cranbrook (37 km), get the batteries checked and buy new if need be. Assuming all is in order, we will cross the border tomorrow.

If anyone has some sunshine please send it our way!!
